This video shows you how to make arroz con pollo—or rice with chicken. Beautifully browned chicken pieces combine with lots of spices, onions, garlic, green olives, and capers. Diced bell peppers, tomato paste, and regular long-grain white rice go into the pot next. Then it’s time for the chicken stock. One of the keys here is how you arrange the chicken in the pot. See how it’s done. This is real Puerto Rican-style comfort food. Watch the video, then get the recipe for Chef John's Chicken and Rice . All in one pot, it's a real winner of a chicken dinner!
